The Wall As An Election Issue

The conventional logic here seems to be President Trump is insistent on getting $5 plus billion for his wall between some parts of the U.S. and Mexico because it would be an issue in the 2020 election if he fails. I would suggest it will be an issue in the 2020 election no matter what […]

How could this possibly matter any more?
